Description
As far a I can tell this is a Chinese Orchid Tree. It wasn't the best one on the tree but it had the best light.
Just played around with the background a bit to push the flower forward.
Bauhinia blakeana (Chinese: 洋紫荊; pinyin: yáng zǐjīng) is an evergreen tree, in the genus Bauhinia, with large thick leaves and striking purplish red flowers. The fragrant, orchid-like flowers are usually 10-15 cm across, and bloom from early November to the end of March. This unique endemic flower is special of Hong Kong's ecosystem. It is referred to as bauhinia in non-scientific literature though this is the name of the genus. It is sometimes called Hong Kong orchid tree (香港蘭).
Thanx for dropping by, and as always your comments are much appreciated.
